/ while thus studying the literary pro
fossion for lee cemmerce only, Scot
was trying 10 get more and more Out o.
the 0cveremsnt, through the Duke Of
Bueoleueh, O. In genuhexlons like th
following:
"It has been suggested 10 me In
word that there would be no impro

as Clerk Of Sessions, e. having been 4
ofiee at the time when the JudicatnF
act deprived us OF . part OF our veste
: fees and emolumenta"
We can forgive this craving afte
once and sinecure In view Of his rec
Industry, but thesa readings make ht
Tory sentiments seem possibly mercer
airy, and throw q doubt upon his can
dor. He also kept 10 oaho0ts with q
literary men whom he coald use an
